Research - Study in the Czech Republic or abroad
Dear students, research is being conducted in the Visegrad Group countries on expectations and factors that led to the choice of a university in the Czech Republic. We will be glad if you join us and fill in the questionnaire https://forms.gle/aaKd6GNUKH6JHL1T8
A Fulbright Scholarship not only gives you a year of research in the USA
Researchers (with a Ph.D.) have until November 1, 2022 to apply for a Fulbright Research and Lecturer Fellowship, which will provide them with a three to ten-month stay at a U.S. research institution. Also of interest to students of Faculty on Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the CTU in Prague may be the Science Communication Fellowship for members of the scientific community who are dedicated to making scientific knowledge available to the public on a long-term and sustained basis - in this case, a bachelor's degree and an application by December 15, 2022 are required.
Czech Republic is building its tenth nuclear reactor - it will be at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague
On Wednesday March 23, 2022, the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the CTU in Prague (FNSPE) announced that it has received a permit from the State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB) for the construction of the VR-2 nuclear reactor. It will be located in the same reactor hall where the faculty has been operating the VR-1 Vrabec reactor since 1990. The number of operating nuclear reactors in the Czech Republic will thus round up to ten in the future (not counting the Golem fusion reactor). In addition to the VR-1 and VR-2 reactors, there are also two research reactors of the Research Centre in Řež and six nuclear reactors operated by ČEZ in two nuclear power plants.
Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of CTU asks for compliance with international agreements and non-attack on nuclear facilities
Since its establishment, the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the CTU in Prague (FNSPE) has been dedicated to research and training of experts in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear reactions. The events of the last few days in the territory of Ukraine, especially hostile destructive acts targeting nuclear facilities in Ukraine, are of great sadness and concern to the Faculty. We call for compliance with international agreements and for a halt to attacks by Russian forces on nuclear facilities in Ukraine.
The management and academic senate of FNSPE wholeheartedly condemn the Russian attack on Ukraine
The management of the Faculty and its Academic Senate join the opinion of the Rector of the CTU in Prague and the statement of the Czech Rectors' Conference on the recent developments in Ukraine. Russia's military attack on Ukraine is an inexcusable act of aggression. FNSPE, in cooperation with the rest of the CTU, is preparing effective assistance to Ukrainian students. We also acknowledge that many Russians disagree with the aggressive policy of their country's current leadership towards Ukraine.
PlasmaLab@CTU brings us closer to operating the world's first fusion power plant
At a time of rising energy prices, the search for new, clean sources of energy is increasingly in vogue. One solution to the looming energy crisis may be thermonuclear fusion. For several years in the south of France, scientists and engineers have been building the world's first fusion reactor. The Czech Republic is also represented here. Among the entities involved is, among others, the Faculty of Nuclear and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FNSPE), which currently operates the only working tokamak (fusion reactor) in the Czech Republic. Now, in addition to the reactor, the faculty has built a modern PlasmaLab@CTU laboratory for students and scientists at a cost of more than CZK 23 million.
